At last a system that joins everything.

Unique! At last a system that joins everything. More versatile, more stable, faster: the new DOMINO jointing system. No Compromises!

The DOMINO jointing system. Every system has its advantages... Round dowels. The traditional solution for frames and racks. Biscuit dowels. A standard feature on boards for decades. Round dowels are among some of the most important jointing elements used in furniture assembly. However, because round dowels do not allow for misalignment, exact positioning is usually required with bench-mounted or semistationary machines. Biscuit dowels are positioned on the scribe line, usually using handheld machines. Because biscuit dowels are shorter than the routed grooves, a slight offset does not pose a problem when the dowel is inserted as the joint can be moved. However, this does require additional alignment when gluing.

... but one system has them all. The DOMINO jointing system. An essential component in wooden jointing. More versatile: suitable both for panel joins and jointing frames and racks. More stable: the special shape and large surface area for gluing on the DOMINO dowel ensure maximum stability. Quicker: the first dowel hole is aligned with extreme ease and routed accurately using stop pins. It secures the joined workpieces immediately, accurately and flush with the edge. The DOMINO system also tolerates smaller inaccuracies in adjacent dowel holes, allowing you to work even more quickly and easily.

The DOMINO jointing system. At last a system that joins everyt As solid as a mortise and tenon joint, but more variable a the DOMINO is a new unique jointing system. The system consists of the DOMINO dowel jointer, recently developed by Festool, and a loose spigot in the shape of the oval DOMINO dowel. A perfect fit. Thanks to an accurately-routed long hole and special DOMINO groove geometry. The DOMINO jointing system is suitable both for panel joins and frame and rack joints. The simple placement of the DOMINO dowel allows for economical production of individual parts and small batches, for chairs, tables and shelving, etc. Allowing you to work both quickly and precisely. 00% rotation-proof.

Maximum stability. Thanks to the shape of the DOMINO dowel, designed with expanding glue slots and side grooves. These are only a few example applications where the DOMINO jointing system can be used to make your work more versatile, more stable and quicker.

The DOMINO jointing system. At last a system that joins everyt More versatile, more stable, faster. An overview of advantages of the DOMINO jointing Pendulum principle Precision B A No other machine routes like the DOMINO dowel jointer. The routing movement of the DOMINO dowel jointer is unique among hand-held machines. A special feature of the jointer is the simultaneous turning and oscillating movement of the routing tool a patented principle that up to now has only been available on expensive stationary machines. This feature guarantees kickback-free, safe work and accurately routed long holes. The width of the long holes can be changed simply by adjusting the dowel jointer while in operation. Quick, accurate work. For example, with panel joins: 2 3 4 Route fixing holes accurately using the stop pins A on the DOMINO dowel jointer. Route all adjacent long holes with clearance on the scribe line via the viewing window B. The wider routed hole compensates for any inaccuracies that may occur when the dowel jointer is positioned on the workpiece. Insert the DOMINO dowel. Assemble the workpieces for gluing. No further alignment is required. When gluing the workpiece, the DOMINO dowel inserted in the fixing hole aligns the workpiece with the edge. The joint fits perfectly it s as simple as that. Switch position Hole width Fixing hole 2 3 4 Long hole with clearance Both variable and precise: quick readjustment of the routing width during work for greater flexibility. 8
